Every once in a while, a product comes along that changes the way we engage in sport. It bucks tradition, and makes everyone think differently. Consider products like shaped skis, full suspension mountain bikes, or oversized tennis rackets. Sometimes this happens in footwear and a whole new category is created, like sport sandals, aerobic fitness trainers, or Vibram® soled dress shoes so comfortable you could run a marathon. Originally, many of these products were considered a novelty, maybe even a gimmick, but eventually, they helped define a new standard of performance. And most important,they delivered a better experience for the user.

Vibram FiveFingers® might be considered such a product, a revolutionary footwear design that allows our anatomy to work naturally and move more freely. Imagine footwear that can actually help make the foot healthier, that can strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improve range of motion, and increase sensory reception important to balance and agility.

We are not saying that Vibram FiveFingers® is the only footwear you will ever need. There are times when we need the protection and security of a boot or shoe. Like all things in life, there is a balance, and Vibram FiveFingers® offer an alternative to traditional footwear. Wearing Vibram FiveFingers® for fitness training, running, or just for fun, will make your feet stronger and healthier – naturally.

VIBRAM FiveFingers® SpeedUnlike any shoe on the market today, the Speed is designed specifically for a more natural walking experience. Built on an entirely new platform, the Speed features a Dri-lex® covered 3mm polyurethane insole (thickest under the ball) and a 4mm anatomical pod outsole design, that offers more plating protection and distributes forefoot impact without compromising important ground feedback, essential to a proper forefoot strike running form. A more athletic padded collar and topline, a lace closure and Mesh upper for improved ventilation.

About the Vibram brand

Vibram is the world leader in the production and sale of high performance rubber outsoles in the markets of sport, leisure, work footwear, orthopaedic and repair.

The history of Vibram dates back to 1937, when Vitale Bramani, Academic of the Italian Alpine Club, returned from a tragic alpine climb and had the brilliant idea of developing rubber biking boot soles. These would be produced using the same technique used by Pirelli for the production of tires. As a result the first vulcanized rubber sole and the famous Carrarmato” design was born. This design went on to start a legacy of rubber sole designs changing footwear design forever.

Over the decades Vibram has been committed to developing a range of products that provide excellent performance in a wide range of activities including outdoor sports (such as mountaineering, motorcycling, hiking, trail running etc.) to fashion, work and leisure.

Thanks to continuous investments in innovation, research and development, Vibram can be so far considered as the world leader in soling. The yellow octagon logo symbolizes the high performance, quality and safety that Vibram is known for world wide.

1. Stand with your heels flush against a flat vertical wall.2. Slide a ruler under each foot and measure the distance from the wall to the tip of the longest toe.3. Take the longer of the two foot measurements4. If the foot length varies more than 0,42cm it will be difficult to get a precise fit for both foot.5. If the second toe is more than 0,42cm longer than your big toe it may be difficult to get a precise fit.

LOVE them!
Have worn them 1hr a day walking the dog for 2 weeks and can already feel the strengthening in my feet and lower leg - main reason was for big toe joint pain reduction - seems to be working so far! have put elastic laces in them for ease and comfort - worked a treat!

Good shoe if you want to run and land on your forefoot and practice barefoot running.

I run in these without socks. I have seen socks for them somewhere but I can't help but think socks would not be comfortable due to the amount of opportunities for friction. Best to just wash them in the sink if they are getting a bit smelly. If you are a triathlon runner, my advice is to take your time to transition as it can take a couple of months to get used to them.

I've got some Injinji toe socks and it makes them awesome. However, if they are purely tri event shoes, you could get away with washing them a lot to keep the smell out and go without socks. They are still very comfortable without socks.

Start by running barefoot on the grass and slowly build up your foot/calf strength.you cannot run 'heel' strike in these just like you cannot run heel strike barefoot without significant pain.Google search 'barefoot running', 'daniel lieberman', 'born to run' and read read read as much as you can.

I also wear orthotics and have started to transition to VFFs. The aim of these is to strengthen your feet and lower legs and move to a more natural running style so you do not need orthotics. Certainly you can not squeeze your orthotics into these shoes and to do so would defeat their purpose. I'm also a heel striker... When I'm not wearing these. They immediatly change you to a mid foot or fore foot striker. My advice though is to allow yourself a couple of months to transition into them.

Hi! For using this kind of shes you must avoid heelstrike as they aren't cushioned at all. In fact, forefoot running is much healthy and natural than heelstrike and you can run this style even you are pronation excess, just take your time in transition.

Speaking to the recent 'barefoot' shoe trend in general, I would not suggest running in anything that isn't a proper supportive, cushioned shoe with your orthotics.

The barefoot shoes offer little by the way of support, only protection from the trail/sidewalk and some grip as well. Because of limited support, these shoes would encourage you to run with a medial strike, so that would be a departure from your normal running form and not an easy adjustment for your feet. It's possible that this could lead to injury.

I recently bought a pair of barefoot shoes (New Balance minimus) for general wear around. They are comfortable and light, but offer no support and I'd not dream of running in them (I wear supportive shoes to correct for moderate overpronation).
